Aptly named, "A Waterfront Enclave", the Marisol community is located on a secluded stretch of the Manatee River in beautiful Bradenton. While easy access to the water is standard for Marisol residents, the surrounding areas also offer something for those with other interests.

The cultural city of Sarasota is located 30 minutes away. Here, sightseers can take in the city's rich history at famed art galleries and museums. Residents and guests can also enjoy the upscale shopping and trendy restaurants located in St. Armand's Circle. Only 30 minutes north is Tampa Bay's Old Hyde Park Village and the new International Plaza and Bay Street – two of Central Florida's premiere shopping venues. Those looking for “retail therapy” closer to home can visit Bradenton 's DeSoto Square Mall or the Brandon Westfield TownCenter.

Beach goers take note: The glowing white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico can be found in nearby Anna Maria Island, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. Each beach offers visitors a unique sunbathing and sightseeing experience.

For sports fanatics, Bradenton an ideal place to live. The Tampa Bay area is not only home to the baseball's New York Yankees, Pittsburg Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies during Spring Training months, but St. Petersburg is also a permanent home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Football enthusiasts know that the former Super Bowl Champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, live and play right in Tampa, and the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team plays at the St. Petersburg Times Forum in the heart of downtown Tampa.
